Open Health Guide to HIMSS19
The annual gargantuan HIMSS conference is back in Orlando with over 45,000 participants from more than 90 countries. There will be more than 1,300 vendors at the exhibit floor and more than 300 educational sessions.

This article is about how they mined the health community for good design decisions and decided what necessary trade-offs to make.
